"<< Background >>The main goal of our project was to promote non-formal education for sustainable development for the present and future.The young people who approached our organizations to participate in the project and its activities emphasized that the problem of environmental protection and its significant pollution is becoming increasingly global. They also address these issues outside of the educational sphere, which is why non-formal education is so important.One of the most important issues raised by the young people is the lack of energy conservation they notice among their peers. Therefore, our games focused on this issue.<< Objectives >>Our goal was to foster environmentally conscious attitudes among young people aged 15-25 through engaging and informal forms of environmental education and encouraging the daily use of environmentally friendly practices, particularly in the area of energy conservation. To this end, we created interactive games as teaching aids for educators and youth workers to raise awareness, develop positive solutions, and stimulate their creativity in the field of ecology.<< Implementation >>1.
